Senior Cloud Engineer
Summary
Designs and operates Remitly's AWS cloud foundation, including networking, infrastructure tooling, and Go services, ensuring reliability and security at scale for global money transfers.
About the Role:
The Cloud Team designs, builds, and operates Remitly's AWS cloud foundation - the networking fabric and infrastructure tooling that every product team depends on. We manage cloud infrastructure at significant scale (hundreds to thousands of accounts), move money for millions of customers, and treat reliability, security, and operational excellence as non-negotiable.
This is not an ops or tooling-configuration role: we need engineers who can design and build scalable systems and services, not just apply Terraform.
As a Cloud Engineer, you will own deep parts of our cloud and networking stack, ship high-quality Go services, and build internal abstractions that reduce cognitive load for the broader engineering org.
About Remitly:
At Remitly, we believe everyone deserves the freedom to access, move, and manage their money wherever life takes them. Since 2011, we've tirelessly delivered on our promise to customers sending money globally, providing secure, simple, and reliable ways to manage their money, ensuring true peace of mind. Whether it's supporting loved ones back home, growing a business across continents, or pursuing new opportunities abroad, we're not just here to move money— we're here to move our global customers forward.
We're looking for builders, reimaginers, and global thinkers who want to work at the intersection of technology, trust, and transformation. If that's you and you're ready to do the most meaningful work of your career—we invite you to join over 2,800 passionate Remitlians worldwide who are united by our vision to transform lives with trusted financial services that transcend borders.
Our Connected Work Culture: Driving Innovation, Together
At Remitly, we believe that true innovation sparks when we come together. Our Connected Work Culture fosters dynamic in-person collaboration, where ideas ignite and challenging problems find solutions faster. Under the Company's current hybrid-work expectations, employees in this position work onsite Tuesday through Thursday each week. Additional onsite attendance may be required based on business needs, and the Company may modify its hybrid-work expectations from time to time. These intentional in-office moments are vital for deepening relationships, fueling creativity, and ensuring your impact is felt where it matters most.
You have:- 5+ years of experience in cloud engineering, DevOps, or infrastructure - with significant hands-on AWS depth.
- Strong proficiency in at least one backend language; Go experience is strongly preferred.
- Deep knowledge of cloud networking: VPC design and subnetting, routing, Transit Gateway, DNS, load balancing.
- Experience with edge infrastructure management: CloudFront distributions, AWS Shield, WAF configurations, and CDN failover strategies.
- Experience building and operating infrastructure as code (Terraform preferred).
- Understanding of cloud and infrastructure management concepts, including multi-account governance and organizational tooling; Kubernetes/EKS familiarity is a plus.
